Endeavor Defense & Fitness

Fantastic experience: I'm a relatively new member and was very impressed with the attention to detail the staff has towards safety. I heard lots of bad things about CrossFit beforehand, specifically about reckless lifting injuries, and that's not the case with Endeavor. They make the effort to ensure you're training safely. Anyone that's new to lifting, this is an excellent gym to join!

Fantastic experience: This gym is the best! I've been a member here for over a year now and still love it! They've got something for everyone, from Yoga to CrossFit to self defense. The instructors all know their stuff and actually care about proper technique and movement. They also have a partnership with one of the best Olympic Lifting operations in the region, Project Lift! Check it out!

Fantastic experience: The coaches are very good and professional!! My kids enjoy their brazelian jujitsu class. We've been with them for almost 5 years

Fantastic experience: I joined Endeavor about five years ago and can't imagine leaving. The owners and coaches are fantastic people who care about you and create a fun, welcoming atmosphere. I didn't know anything about CrossFit before joining but the coaches patiently helped me progress and get in the best shape of my life. I highly recommend Endeavor to anyone out there!

Fantastic experience: I have been participating in the hybrid combative self-defense program for over three months now. I absolutely love it! This is a no nonsense, realistic fighting and defense program. All instructors are absolutely the best that I have seen. You can tell that they enjoy what they do and they’re very good at Teaching. The facility is awesome, with lots of space to stretch and practice. I would highly recommend Endevour to anyone who is looking for an authentic approach to self-defense and fighting.

Fantastic experience: Great place to train bjj! Awesome instructors and people!

Fantastic experience: LOVE the community here. i spent time on both the fitness and the defense side learning crossfit and jiu jitsu. i had excellent coaching for both and they made it really easy to start as a beginner.

Fantastic experience: This school has the most caring coaches and an amazing community. I have really grown as a martial artist and a person while training here.

Fantastic experience: Been training at Endeavor for over a year and I’ve been to many gyms but this one is the most positive. The coaches work really hard and knowing they’ll be there with a smiling face first thing in the morning keeps me coming back.

Fantastic experience: I have had a great experience with Endeavor. I really enjoy the CrossFit group. The trainers are careful and give you the individual attention you need to get the most out of each workout.

Fantastic experience: Excellent community, excellent coaches. The self defense program is top-notch, it's fun and empowering while also being practical. The Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program is also excellent, there are a lot of ladies training here!

Fantastic experience: Just a great place to learn fitness and defense. Friendly environment with very knowledgeable instructors.

Fantastic experience: I do Brazilian jiu-jitsu and the staff are great they take the time to help and understand everyone starts somewhere. Also the people are all great I haven't met anyone who is a jerk.

Fantastic experience: Just did an amazing introductory personal training session with Aaron, the owner. He taught me fundamental but all-encompassing exercises that were totally transformative. I went to him with a whole bunch of physical problems, most of which were gone or radically improved as a result of one session. Also amazing, the session was fun and easy-going. As I continue to practice this work, I'm sure I'll have even better outcomes!

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym. Excellent classes for both fitness and martial arts with very motivational instructors. I'd recomend it to anyone. Their self defense curriculum is practical and well thought-out. It's got something for everyone. Update: I've trained here for so long that I work here now. This gym is the best!

Fantastic experience: My son and I was there for IcyMikes seminar. It was fun & good experience. Staff and gym were really cool. Thanks

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism THE BEST defense and fitness gym in the central Ohio area! Come for the BJJ, defense, and CrossFit, but stay for the community. Full CrossFit gym including strong man atlas stones and tires to flip, and a fully padded room for all your Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Hybrid Defense needs.

C’mon I’ll be looking for you! Newbies welcomed here!

Fantastic experience: The Hybrid program at Endeavor has been life changing! Thank you coach Brooke, Ashley, Cecily, and Aaron for helping me to feel more secure after an attack downtown. I spent years extremely fearful of going almost anywhere alone. You all have given me the skills ins elf-defense to finally feel more comfortable on my own. Thank you truly from the bottom of my heart. Your classes help a newbie learn the ropes and the classes grow as the students do. Amazing program!

Fantastic experience: I drive 30 minutes each direction to train at this facility. The coaching is THAT awesome and the community is everything!

Fantastic experience: Amazing facility, top quality instructors, and cant say enough about the community. Just all around good people. Ability to do Crossfit and martial arts, bjj depending on day/mood is rare to find.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Endeavor is an amazing place to train. The coaching is top-notch. They push you and help you find what's important to you. You can't help but make friends with the amazing training partners you'll have. It's a great place to be.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of this gym since it opened. It has saved my sanity during COVID. They are a VERY supportive group - I am 40+ and there is no judging if I cannot keep up or have to modify moves. Everyone is welcoming. During COVID this community supported it’s members virtually with classes and emotionally. I feel completely safe going here to work out as everyone is careful about staying apart and cleaning equipment. If you are looking for a “family” type gym this is your place. There are a ton of different classes and you will never be judged. 100% recommend. They care about you as a person and will help you reach whatever goal you have.

Fantastic experience: Endeavor is where I started my Crossfit journey. The coaches there like AJ, Aaron and Dude are extremely knowledgeable and really make it a point to get to know your strengths and help you on your weaknesses. Although I don't go to this box anymore due to moving, I always talk about how attentive, supportive, and motivating the coaches were to my progress! I wouldn't be the Crossfitter I am today without the coaches and the sense of community there! Thanks Endeavor!!

Fantastic experience: I have been training at this amazing gym since it opened. I can’t say enough about the caliber of training and the sense of community. Everyone is so welcoming and new members quickly become part of the family. The level of instruction is first rate. I highly recommend Endeavor.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member or a punch card holder at several Crossfit gyms. I've dropped in at several others. This place is hands down my favorite. The facility is large. The class sizes are fairly small. You actually get one-on-one attention during class. The programming actually makes sense. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable. The members are unbelievably awesome! If you're interested in Crossfit, self defense, BJJ, Olympic lifting, or Yoga, you really need to give this place a shot. I promise you will not regret it.

Fantastic experience: Great place providing a wide breadth of fitness (crossfit, olympic lifting, yoga and more) and self defense classes. The instructors truly have each individual member’s best interest at heart and tailor workout recommendations according to one’s capabilities. The balance of training with crossfit and yoga is great.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Endeavor for 3 years now, this is hands down the best gym I've been attended. The facilities are well maintained with plenty of amenities, the coaching staff is knowledgeable and well trained, and gym mates are encouraging and supportive. The Brazilian Jiu Jitsu team has a nice flow of competitiveness and supporting casual grapplers and we have a diverse team that makes training phenomenal. Love the crossfit and krav maga to compliment my BJJ game!

Fantastic experience: Started with a great intro class for 6weeks, stayed active in CrossFit for awhile until finding out about the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes held here. I’ve stayed involved with BJJ classes longer than any fitness regimen I’ve started. Very good instructors who do not demean anyone for lack of experience. We compete regularly at several tournaments throughout the year and have built up a pretty good reputation as a team for being successful. If you’re not into competition there are also several days and hours to train. Best Jiu Jitsu in the Hilliard area!

Fantastic experience: Moving back to Columbus and having so many crossfit gym options was incredibly overwhelming. I was recommended to try Endeavor from a friend from an old crossfit gym, and easily one of the best recommendations I have ever received! It really has been an honor to work with the coaches and soak up all their knowledge of lifting and how to best perform. I now feel like I move smarter and more efficiently, versus just winging it all the time. The people at the gym are so welcoming. It really is a giant family who has each others back. The coaching really has pushed me to be a better version of myself as an athlete and a person. So glad to be a part of this family!

Fantastic experience: I started coming here for the 6 weeks women's self defense seminar and absolutely loved it. The seminar was so good, learned a bunch, and got my feet in the door. I'm currently bouncing around the fight side of the gym and honestly I'm learning so much. If you like a good atmosphere, to challenge yourself, to learn a ton, and to do it all safely this is the place for you

Fantastic experience: Endeavor is an excellent gym that offers so much to its members! They have different class offerings, special events/courses, outstanding coaching, and a great sense of community. The coaches really take the time to get to know you and they are committed to helping you achieve your personal goals. This is an outstanding place to help you reach your health goals!!!

Fantastic experience: Great instructors and great members. CrossFit is awesome for getting in shape and learning how to use the body better. Yoga has been just as beneficial, if not more. I've improved my mind body connection, my recovery, and my overall outlook on life in just a few weeks thanks to yoga especially. And they have so much more to offer. Result may vary, but I know I'm glad to be a member!

Fantastic experience: I have been to three or four different CrossFit gyms in my time. Endeavor hands down has been the only one to focus on proper form and injury prevention. I look forward to coming to class everyday. Come workout with an amazing gym ran by some amazing people.

Fantastic experience: Endeavor just began their yoga program...and it is awesome! Not only can I challenge myself on the CrossFit side by attending classes where I get to sweat alongside awesome people who encourage and educate above and beyond physical health but all inclusive wellness...now I can heal, stretch, breathe and relax in my yoga practice too. The classes are wonderful and the new yoga room looks great. The instructors at Endeavor are impeccable, my fellow gym goers are so supportive and the environment is so inclusive. If you have not found a place that is conducive for you to be challenged (but always safe and smart...moving/lifting/breathing correctly is always first priority), supported, and encouraged,... stop by...you won’t regret it.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been doing CrossFit since 2008, the days when the games were at the ranch and people were catching their bar off bounces between reps. I have moved multiple times and have been to several gyms throughout my experience with CrossFit. Out of all the gyms I’ve visited, I’d have to say Endeavor is my favorite. The coaching, programming, atmosphere and individuals that are part of this facility are unmatched. There are always scaling options for any workout and the coaches are active, focusing on effective training and injury prevention. Visiting Endeavor is always the highlight of my day and I highly recommend it!!

Fantastic experience: I did a drop in class a little over 2 years ago and never left. The coaches are personable but also knowledgeable and the members are fantastic. I continued working out throughout my pregnancy and they scaled everything appropriately which allowed me to recover from a 2nd c-section much faster than the first. The programming is challenging of course but manageable. There are tons of programs like crossfit, olympic weightlifting, bjj, yoga, kid's gymnastics, and everything in between. I truly feel like I've found a second family here.

Fantastic experience: I have been attending Endeavor since June 2018, and I love it. I started with personal training, then the 6 week kick start, and since then I have been participating in primarily the Crossfit classes. I was skeptical about "Crossfit" and potential for injury; however, every single coach focuses on safety and modifications if/when needed. Endeavor is a great place with coaches who care and promote safety, and the members have turned into friends. My results in one year have included an 8 lb weight loss, increased muscle mass, and a deadlift PR. Additionally, I am running faster times and getting close to running times I haven't seen in 10 years. This place is fun and definitely good for all ages!! I highly recommend Endeavor Defense and Fitness.

Fantastic experience: Really great place. I started with their onboarding program in January of this year and signed up for a membership after that was complete. Staff is friendly and professional. There are multiple class times available throughout the day. Equipment is of good quality and is well maintained. Nice community. If you are looking for a challenging workout that will be different and engaging every day, this is a good place for you.

Fantastic experience: About 2 years ago I was not thrilled with where I was with my physical health. At the time a friend of mine was doing CrossFit but needed a new gym when she moved back to Columbus. Since I needed a change and some motivation, we went together to another local gym but found it wasn’t for us. A few months later we stumbled upon Endeavor and the rest is history. I have never felt stronger or better about myself! This place has given me endless knowledge that has helped me push myself during every class but with correct form. Not to mention the people here are welcoming and encouraging. My gym fam makes working out more fun. Thanks, Endeavor Defense and Fitness!

Fantastic experience: I love this place. I've been coming here for 3 years and it's welcoming and supportive. I started with no weightlifting experience and I've learned so much! The coaches take the time to know everyone and pay attention to form. I always feel like I have the instruction and motivation needed to get through the workouts. Safety is a number one priority here, and I feel comfortable doing the movements.

Fantastic experience: Endeavor Defense and Fitness is an excellent training facility! The coaches are VERY knowledgeable about all aspects of lifting and movement, and are always learning so as to be better able to help their members. The workouts are challenging and beneficial, the members have a great time and are supportive of each other. If you’re looking to try Crossfit, BJJ, yoga, or just start investing in your health and wellness, Endeavor is the place you want to be.

Fantastic experience: This is seriously the best gym I've ever been to. Whether you're into crossfit, self defense, Olympic weight lifting, or yoga, they have something for you. I've been a member for almost two years now, and it's like my second home. The people there are like family. It's such an inviting, and non-intimidating, atmosphere, and the coaches are super helpful and knowledgeable. I fricken love this place!

Fantastic experience: I really can't say enough about this gym and how glad I am I decided to try it out and join. I have dropped into or been a member at most of the larger crossfit gyms in Columbus and can hold my own during most workouts. What makes Endeavor stand out are the people and the coaching. The coaches are top notch-- knowledgeable, friendly and have a real focus on attention to detail which is necessary when it can be so easy to get hurt if you perform a lift/skill with bad form. Being an experienced crossfitter they still took the time to go over basic skills with me and helped me improve technique and truly understand the bits and pieces that get linked together to improve overall lifts & movements. The coaches positivity & energy has drawn in members with similar attitudes and every single person I have met through Endeavor is incredibly nice, supportive and welcoming. I've been a member at crossfit gyms for over a year where the coaches never knew my name so going someplace where I get the total opposite experience has been refreshing and I would recommend this place to anyone at any skill level.

Fantastic experience: I love this place!! The coaches are amazing and help you accomplish the goals you set. Classes are set up to accommodate a busy schedule. Everyone here has such a positive attitude and will always cheer you on!!! If you are interested in finding a gym that cares about you this is it!
